We've been trying and trying, but we can't get that out of her," said her father, Matthew Williams. "You walk down the street, and she'll come up to you like she's known you all her life." Heartbreaking. “Her biggest problem: She got too much trust in people.

Human? Yes, human. Then what is a human being? In thinking of you thinking of Megan Williams and struggling to put pen to paper, I turned to Paul Celan's poems. W.W. Norton has a good selection: <a href="http://www.nortonpoets.com/ex/celanp.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.nortonpoets.com/ex/celanp.htm</a> Here's one from that page: With a Changing Key With a changing key you unlock the house where the snow of what's silenced drifts. Just like the blood that bursts from your eye or mouth or ear, so your key changes. Changing your key changes the word that may drift with the flakes. Just like the wind that rebuffs you, packed round your word is the snow. Patricia,

With a Changing Key
With a changing key
you unlock the house where
the snow of what’s silenced drifts.
Just like the blood that bursts from
your eye or mouth or ear,
so your key changes.
Changing your key changes the word
that may drift with the flakes.
Just like the wind that rebuffs you,
packed round your word is the snow.
